  Knuckle Man The downside is it's hard.

  

  I bought this after hearing it goes well with Chinese rubber, but

  this one's just too hard. The ball leaves the blade too fast, so it doesn't seem to bring out the tacky rubber's strengths.

  It's made for players with strong arms since it's aimed at overseas players,

  so it took quite a while to get used to it.

  That said, it makes up for the speed side of tacky rubber, so I think that's a plus.

  Also, even though it's hard, it does have a bit of flex, which is a nice point.

  中国ラバーにあうと聞いて買いましたが、

  これは硬すぎです。球離れが早く粘着の良さを生かせないようでした。

  外国人向けなので力が強い向けに作ってますが、

  特に慣れるまでに結構な時間がかかりました。

  粘着のスピード面は補えるのでいいと思いました。

  あと少ししなるのも硬いけど嬉しいポイントです。

  Evan Holtz (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Great with tacky rubber

  

  F: Skyline NEO2, 40 degrees, 2.2mm. B: Calibra Tour M, 1.9mm.
  The surface uses a premium wood called ebony, which gives it a really high-end look.

  The feel on contact is on the harder, sharper side.
  I think the bounce is top-class among 5-ply blades.
  When you drive, the blade flexes and makes it easy to generate spin. It's probably suited to a brushing stroke.
  The ball comes off quickly, so meeting the ball flat is easy too. You can also handle backspin with an easy, flat hit.

  Blocking is also easy.
  It's bouncy when you drive, but not very bouncy when blocking.
  You can stop drives with ease too.

  As for weaknesses, backhand-style strokes didn't feel great.
  On backhand drives, the ball drops unless you hit it in a way that lets it sink into the sponge. I think that's because the ball comes off the blade so quickly.

  
  To sum up,
  I'd recommend this blade to anyone who wants to use tacky rubber. Brushing drives generate a good amount of spin, and meeting the ball flat produces knuckleballs, so you can also confuse your opponent by varying the amount of spin.
  If you use a fierce, heavily-spun forehand drive as your main weapon, why not give this one a try?

  F.テンキョクNEO2 40度 2.2mm B.キャリブラツアーM 1.9mmを使用。
  表面に黒檀という高級木材を使用していて非常に高級感があります。

  打球感は硬めでシャープな感じがします。
  弾みは5枚合板の中ではトップクラスだと思います。
  ドライブをするとラケットがしなり回転が掛けやすいです。擦る打法に向いているでしょう。
  球離れが早いのでミートも簡単にできます。下回転も楽々ミートで持っていくことができます。

  ブロックもしやすいです。
  ドライブをすると弾みますが、ブロックをするときはあまり弾みません。
  ドライブも楽々に止めることができます。

  弱点としては、バック系の打法があまり好感触ではありませんでした。
  バックドライブは食い込ませるようにして打たないと落ちます。球離れが早いせいだと思います。

  
  まとめとして、
  このラケットは粘着ラバーを使いたい人にお勧めです。擦るドライブをするとかなりの回転が掛かり、ミートをするとナックルになるので回転量の変化で相手を惑わすこともできます。
  強烈な回転のフォアドライブを主戦武器として使っている選手は試してみてはいかがでしょうか。

  As expected of STIGA - the rackets they make are just different from everyone else's!
  The Ebenholz, despite being an all-wood blade, has bounce on par with special-material blades!
  The compatibility with Chinese rubber was also excellent!

  やはりSTIGAさん、つくるラケットが他と違います！
  エバンホルツは、木材ラケットでありながら、特殊素材なみの弾みです！
  中国ラバーとの相性も抜群でした！

  Kyo leopard (Experience: ４〜５ years) Holds the ball

  

  I thought the ball-holding might be poor because it uses foreign wood, but it's actually pretty good. It's got good speed too,
  I'd recommend putting tacky rubber on the forehand, like Ri Gyoka does! A harder rubber like Tenergy works fine too.

  外材のせいで球持ちが悪いかなと思っていたのですがなかなかいいです。スピードも出ますし
  リギョウカみたいにフォアに粘着を張ることをおすすめします！テナジーなど硬めのラバーでもいいです。

  Q Taro (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A firm blade

  

  You can hit powerful topspin drives with this.
  It's a hard blade, so it's the type where the ball doesn't sink in much and flies in a straight line, but since it's an all-wood blade, you can also hit softer shots.
  It's a wood blade with a feel on contact that's close to a special-material blade like carbon.

  It kind of feels like it takes the best of both wood and carbon?

  威力のあるドライブが打てます。
  固いラケットなのであまり食い込まずに真っすぐ飛ぶタイプですが、木材合板なので柔らかいボールも打てます。
  カーボンなどの特殊素材の打球感に近い木材ラケットです。

  木材とカーボンのいいとこどり？といった感じですね。
